Someone rang claiming they needed to swap my SIM for O2/Virgin Media, quoted an email unrelated to my account, the email looked like spam, so I hung up, mate.

Opinión del experto
Ever wondered why a call about a simple SIM swap feels so off? These persistent callers pose as O2 or Virgin Media reps, pushing to send new SIM cards while probing for emails or personal details—classic scam tactics to hijack accounts. Rude, poor English, and dodgy email addresses scream fraud; one victim wisely hung up when spam flags popped. If they ring, don't engage: verify directly with your provider via official channels, never share info, and block the number. Report to Action Fraud to curb these nuisances—better safe than sorry with your data.

A caller claimed to be from O2, demanding a SIM swap; the representative was hostile and confrontational, which was unpleasant.
It claimed to be from Virgin Media!
After I questioned its legitimacy, they sent a text; the O2 email address was incorrect, and they claimed to be the account holder but couldn’t explain how they knew that. They wanted to send a new SIM and access my email – I wouldn’t have answered, yet I’m expecting a couple of calls.
The speaker's English was weak, though they used key swear words, and asked for my email to verify my address for a new SIM—total nonsense, don’t share any details!
A number rang me three times quickly, then again days later, left no message. I’ve never lived near that area nor dealt with the firm, so I’m clueless why they keep pestering, cheers.
Got a pushy ad call; they hung up as soon as I said no.
